Dated entries span from 2009 to 2026 with sporadic single entries most months, showing a long, thin history rather than a concentrated wave. Traction is led by tr8s-studio with 7 stars, while layerstudio and radio trail with 1 and 0 stars respectively.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
